LETTERS FROM STEVO...Is it really 2009? Relax, a bunch of dead people say the end of the world is 3 years away!

So the earth has revolved around the sun one more time...Excellent! Let's celebrate like it's a miracle this has occurred! I have a hunch it's going to do it a few more times before its all said and done...just call it a hunch. I keep seeing this History Channel advertisement for a show about all the alleged prophecies for the end of the world in the year 2012... The Maya's, Nostradamus (no Thornton clan, I didn't say Nordstrom's...relax, there's no sale going on). I have a feeling Nostradamus is going to lose what little credibility he has left in 2013...we can probably quit talking about the Maya around that time as well.

I don't do new years resolutions as I'm not really a goal oriented person (I wander aimlessly thru life and occasionally happen upon success). With that being said, let's look at some New Year's resolutions and goals for Stevo & friends in 2009!

- Craig "Curlz for the Gurlz" Thornton did a 3 minute plank the other day at the gym...impressive! He has resolved to up that time to a 5 minute plank by year's end.

- Amy resolves to let Stevo out of the doghouse for the first time in almost 9 years and finish her memoir titled, "Living with Stevo"

- Peyton resolves to be gentler with grandma Shirley's cat...no chick casualties either!

- Mya resolves to conquer the world with her wit, charm, indominable spirit and talent for B.S.!

- Bud resolves to learn all the dance moves from "Mama Mia"

- Ma Busch resolves to put an end to her QVC purchasing habit and move to more modernized online shopping...does Hobby Lobby have a website?

- Big Dave resolves to become the next Milt Friedman/Warren Buffet/Adam Smith

- The Thornton/Carlson clan resolves to single handedly keep Nordstrom's in business through this tough economy

- Brother Mike resolves to stop "surfing the web" and sleeping so much and to finally take his wife out on a real date

Last but certainly not least, Stevo resolves to do the following:

- Provide more fodder for Amy's above mentioned memoir
- play on the church basketball team, "You tell 'em I'm comin'...and I'm bringin' HELL with me!!!"
- Go a year without buying any shoes
- Make sure Cory finally gets to see "The Godfather"...both I and II...ok, maybe III too!
- And of course, provide you all with more "Letters from Stevo" and "Quickie with Stevo"

I personally would like to see more Quickies with Stevo. I also was wondering who the Maya's were? I have only heard of the Mayans! I have decided you are the best blogger ever!! How can one person be so clever? And best of all, know they are so clever?!?

Haha! Thanks for the laughs! :) What would we do without you!? The resolutions are so fitting! Practically Perfect! Thank you for your wits and such. I hope to blog more like you someday.

Go Nordstrom! I bet you can't go an entire year without any shoe purchases.

Does Amy really need any more fodder? I think she's already got enough material for an epic tome...the likes of which Tolstoy never imagined.

Stevo, get real. Ma Busch will never leave QVC. I am actually surprised they haven't invited her to guest host a segment. I can actually see her showcasing the all new "ultimotion"...Her slogan can be "it's like a Wii except that it doesn't come with interchangeable games...that's way too confusing".

we'll have to verify with Amy but aren't they all quickies with Stevo?

Steffan Busch!! Holy cow! I found your blog through Dave & Lyndley. You haven't changed a bit! My dad will be excited that I found you! Life is good for the Whipple Clan...we are all grown up and have families of our own. Amanda has 3 kids, Me just 1 and Jared has 2. Wesley graduates this year and Kaitlin is looking like she is going to be getting married soon.

Kirtland is still the same...Nothing has changed! I am glad that you haven't either. You are still your funny self. Good ol day at the Ice Plant were fun w/ you! You have a beautiful family and sounds like you are having the time of your life! Keep in touch!
